December 26th


Will and I are off on our big mountain adventure.  I am attaching a picture of us getting ready to leave with Christopher and Mr./Mrs. Yager.
Yesterday we rode all the way to Madison GA and spent the night at the Wal-Mart.  (In the camper in the parking lot:).  We are meeting up with some Yager family members to go the rest of the way with us.  More later - there is so much to see.

Merry Christmas!


Merry Christmas!  Santa was here!  He is very sneaky: we tried to watch for him through the window but never knew when he came.  Will got a DS game and other neat stuff.  (I am attaching a picture of us with the loot.)  Santa ate 1/2 of a cookie, drank all the milk, and took 3 of the carrots for his team.

December 24th

Another busy day today at Karate Arts.  We stopped at Dairy Queen on the way home for a mixed swirl cup of ice cream and then went to Houston's for some steaks to grill.  (Yum, I like steak.)  Will and I rode the bike and visited with his neighbor - Ms Owenby.  She has a really big pretty Christmas tree.  After we ate dinner, we watched some tv and prepared some milk, cookies, and carrots for Santa and then settled in to bed.  We are sleeping tonight in the big bed in the guest room.  It has a window that looks out to the glass room.  This is where they have their Christmas tree and where Santa will be visiting later on:)

December 22nd

Will and I spent the day at Karate Arts school on Lone Star Rd.  This is where Will goes when school is out and his mom has to work.  We play games, watch movies, and did some karate practice.  It was too cool to play soccer or visit the green house so we played in the gym.  I liked the game called boulder dash.  Sinse' Connie rolled these giant blow up balls at us and we have to dodge back and forth to avoid being crushed.  It was awesome.

December 19th

Happy Holidays!  Proud P here with Will for the holiday break.  He lives at the end of the road with a pond in the back.  His cousins came down from Statesboro GA and we played in a cool fort with a sandbox under it.  Then, Will's mom gave me a bath.  While I was drying off, they went to the zoo.  When they returned we all opened family presents.  Will got a kareokee game for his x-box.  We all sang and sang.  Then he put on a Magic Show with the magic kit he got from his Aunt Anna.  Wow, I'm tired now.

Cats Rule, Dogs Drool!

Today Proud Panther got to play with the dog "yeeeeee haaaaaah Cats Rule!" Then Proud Panther was almost flung off the dog.


 Next, Proud Panther got to climb up the tree.  "Santa, are you there?  I would like to get out of this tree Santa."  Then we got Proud Panther out of the tree.  "Thank you Hunter P."  No problem now.  Then me and Proud Panther got to play tic-tac-toe.  When we started to play, Proud Panther won every game fair and square.  "Yes, I won every game!"  Dang, I could of won every round that time!


Proud Panther almost got burned but luckily the fire went out just in time.   Hunter P. rescued him before he could get hurt.

Happy Holidays!



While visiting Abbie this past week, I happened to see how her house was decorated for the holiday. Check it out!

Gingerbread Extravaganza


     Abbie took me to the Gingerbread Extravaganza today.  It was fabulous!  Check it out :)

Our Room

     Here is a picture of the outside of our cruise room.  I forgot to put it in the last entry.  We were on the 8th floor.  I got to press the button on the elevator every once in a while.  Abbie would frequently beat me to it.

Exploring the Wonder

     Here I am on one of the life preservers on board.  We were on the Disney Wonder for our three day cruise.  I am really excited.


     Here is the top of the ship.  There were three pools on board on the 9th deck.  This is the top deck.  They had a LARGE SCREEN television for the middle pool.   That was the family pool.  They had another pool for adults only and a smaller pool for really small children.  I really love walking around the deck.
     Here is the Mickey Pool.  I can't wait to go swimming!

     Here is Abbie and I running around the top deck.  That ship is really big!

    Here I am in the adult restaurant called Palo.  You have to be a grown up to go here.  You even have to wear really fancy clothes.   Captain Mickey let me visit it before the grown-ups came.

Overprotective!

     Mrs. Cowan made me wear the life jacket once we were on board.  It took Minnie and Captain Mickey over an hour to convince her that I would be safe on the ship.  I was grateful to them so I did not have to wear this life jacket for my ENTIRE cruise.  That would have been really uncomfortable.  Well, I am off to explore the ship some more.

On Board!

     Finally, at 11:45, we were allowed on board. That ship was huge!  As we came aboard, the crew welcomed us by announcing us to everyone on board.   We were among the very first passengers since we arrived so early so the ship was pretty empty.  It was neat looking around all over the place.  
     We went to our cabin first.  It was a nice size cabin with a private deck for us to go out on.   Mr. Cowan was kind enough to let me look out from the balcony.  You can see the trucks loading the ship.  Our cabin also had a refrigerator, a bathroom, closets, a television, and a divider.  I could watch all sorts of movies on the television, including High School Musical 3.  Maybe Mrs. Cowan will let me watch it tonight.
      After we spent some time exploring our cabin, we went exploring the ship.  The first place we stopped at was the Oceaneer Club.  This was a play area just from 3 to 5 year olds.  Abbie and I played for about an hour.  I slid down a slide, climbed a rope ladder, played on a computer, watched a play, played with blocks and so much more.   The slide was my favorite part of the play area because I got to slide on it all by myself!  I strongly recommend stopping by the play area if you ever go on a cruise.  It really was cool!

     Well, that is all for now.  Stay tuned for further updates!

Our Journey Begins



     Well, today is Thursday, November 6 and we are on our way to Port Canaveral.  Mr. Cowan even let me sit behind the wheel in the van at a rest area.  He wouldn't let me drive though because I am to young.  He also made me ride in a car seat just to be safe. 


          After the car ride, we finally arrive at the Disney Cruise Terminal.  Mrs. Cowan, Abbie and I are very excited.   






All I can say is WOW!  Even the terminal was neat looking.  There was a huge model of the ship for me to look at.  Captain Mickey and Captain Goofy stopped by while we waited to board the ship.The terminal even has a place where you can look at the ship outside from the balcony.  Stay tuned!


AWESOME!

     Mrs. Cowan said she had a surprise for me but I had no idea it would be a CRUISE!  I have never been on a cruise before.  I have been on a plane, a train, in a car (even a police car), on a bus, and even a van but never a cruise.  I get to go on a cruise on the Disney Wonder for 3 days and nights.  I even get to pal around with a kid for the trip.  Mrs. Cowan said I could keep her daughter Abbie company.  Abbie just turned 4 years old yesterday so it should be fun.

A SURPRISE!

     I had a great time with Melissa this past weekend.  I was supposed to go home with someone else this week but Mrs. Cowan said she had a surprise for me.  I am not sure what it is but I am looking forward to it.  Until then, have a great week!

Florida / Georgia Weekend

Today we got to go to the stadium during the Florida / Georgia game. There were lots of people and it was really crowded. We did not get to stay very long, but we did watch the game at Melissa's grandmother's house. I'll be meeting a new friend on Monday when we go back to school, but I enjoyed spending time with my friend Melissa. TTFN, Proud Panther.

Halloween...spooky fun!



Melissa took me shopping for a Halloween costume. You will never guess what I decided to be....A policeman, just like Melissa's dad. Here are some pictures of me in a police car. We went trick-or-treating later and got lots and lots of candy. We even got to visit the haunted house where the vampire lives.

We had a great time playing games.


We had a really fun day today. We played chess and other games. I won some, but Melissa beat me a few times too. We also rode bikes around in the neighborhood and I met some of Melissa's other friends.

Proud Panther's Day at Animal Kingdom

Today we went to Animal Kingdom. This is our last day of the trip. I had to say good bye to Buddy today. I will miss him. Boo-hoo, again. At Animal Kingdom, Tori's mom and dad went on Everest while Tori's Mema, Tori and I watch. It looked really scary. I'm glad they didn't make me go on it. Then we saw a man in a tribal costume and he let me take a picture with him. He was really nice. We went to see a show called the Festival of the Lion King. There were lots of dancers and really good singers. My favorite character was the panther (heeheehee). After the show, we went to dinoland. I made another new friend named Toothie, who Tori won at the dinoland fair. At the end of the day we got ice cream and then I realized it was the last day I had with Tori. I was sad until I remember I will be with another new child next week with lots of new adventures. I can't wait. Love, Proud Panther

Proud Panther's Day at Epcot

Today we went to Epcot. We had tons of fun. Tori and I went inside the big ball. It was like a little ride. Tori and I went on Soaring, twice. It was Awesome!! But Tori said Mission Space was the Best Ride Ever. I could not ride because I was too small. Boo-Hoo. Then we went to the countries. We went to Mexico, China, Japan and many others. My favorite country was Canada because we got to watch a movie there. At the end of the night we watched all sorts of fireworks. I will have a hard time sleeping tonight because tomorrow is another day of fun. Stay tuned to the blog. See you later, Proud Panther


Fort Wilderness Fun

Here I am at Fort Wilderness with Tori. We had a long drive. I helped drive and it was fun. Once we were there, it was very late and rainy so we could not go anywhere. In the morning, I made a new friend. His name is Buddy. Buddy is a bottlenosed dolphin and the mascot for Jacksonville University. Tori, Buddy and I played all around the campground and saw some really scary campsites. Buddy and I had a great day and lots of fun. Be sure to click on the slide show to see all the fun places we went together. I can't wait to see what other adventures we have in Orlando. Love, Proud Panther

Panther's trip to the Jacksonville Zoo


Tori and Desirae took me to the Jacksonville Zoo today. I saw panthers that were in the zoo. They were very lazy, unlike me who travels all over the world. I saw grown up paw prints that were very big. I wonder if my feet will ever get that big. That also had a sign that had facts about my species and listed all my favorite foods. I didn't know I was endangered. I better be more careful!! And when the girls put me towards the monkeys, they started jumping like crazy to see what I was. It was very funny. Wow, I can't wait to see what adventures are coming up next. I think I might be going out of town. Keep on checking!! From Proud Panther

First Day with Tori


Today I go to a new home for a week. I am going home with Tori! We had lots of fun today. Tori and I played six games of chess. I beat her five times and we had stalemate the last time. Tori went to girl scouts and I had to stay home alone. I am looking forward to tomorrow and I can't wait to see what happens the rest of the week. From, the Proud Panther
